The Motorola Droid Update On Thursday Was For Testers Only
March 19, 2010
If you’re wondering how Thursday came and went without you getting the highly anticipated Motorola Droid Android 2.1 update, we’ve got a tidbit of news for you. According to Tom Pica, a Verizon spokesperson, the update wasn’t delayed, as was previously reported, but the Android 2.1 update was deployed to a small number of Verizon analysis users (as scheduled). It’s good to know that Verizon apparently sent out the Android 2.1 updates, since that means it’s (almost) ready, though the downer is that most users out there probably didn’t get any update whether they weren’t part of the tryout users. Hopefully Verizon will be able to get that sorted out soon, and serve the Android 2.1 update to Motorola Droid users already.

Looks like quite a few Android developers are going to be getting a new phone soon, as Google has sent out emails informing developers of a new Device Seeding Program for top Android Market Developers. So whether you’re a developer and have an application with a 3.5 star rating or higher and 5000 rare downloads, you qualify to receive a free Motorola Droid or Nexus One, though you won’t be able to pick which one, as it’ll be decided depending on your country of origin and other factors. While many folks out there are worried that that is a scam, an official confirmation from a Google spokesperson should ease those worries, as it reads:
“A thriving developer community is an vital part of creating a better mobile experience for users around the world. We hope that offering devices to developers will produce it easier for them to create and analysis great applications. that is inline with other efforts to support developers, which plus includes our Android Developer Labs World Tour and our upcoming participation at the Game Developers Conference.”

Is Google Store View The Next Big Thing?
February 6, 2010
Is Google Street View expanding? Reports have come in that a New York retailer named Oh Nuts, allowed folks from Google to come into the store and take pictures of inside the store, every 6 feet, and in all directions. Pictures of the products on display were plus snapped up. Apparently that is for a new Google Maps feature called “Google Store View”. whether that is true, you’ll be able to “walk” into a store from Google Street View, and check out the store, just like that. According to the source, when asked about that, a Google spokesperson just responded:
“We are always experimenting with new features for Google Maps. We have nothing further to announce at that instance.”
Do you think that that is true, and we’ll be seeing Google Store View sometime soon, or is it an early April fool’s joke?
